Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 266

"That basta*d! How dare he?" Gianna snapped, already rolling her sleeves. Her intentions were clear in her fiery eyes.

But that wasn’t what Arwen cared about at the moment. She had expected this reaction from Gianna —knew it was inevitable, in fact. What she hadn’t prepared for was the stunned and judgemental gazes of the people around them. Gianna’s sudden and obnoxiously loud choice of words had drawn the attention of nearly everyone in the vicinity.

Arwen’s cheeks burned when she met a few curious gazes. Though it was brightness was dimmed around she could still see a few eyes very clearly. Especially the nearest ones. She pressed a slightly apologetic smile to her lips and leaned closer to Gianna, muttering under her breath, "Anna, we are sitting in the middle of the crowd. Can you not let your anger make us the subject of everyone’s gossip?"

Gianna turned to look at her, her brows knitting in a deep frown. For a moment, Arwen thought she might lash out even louder. Instead, Gianna muttered as if she hadn’t heard anything that Arwen had said just now. "Wait for me. I will go now and teach him what a proper apology looks like. Did he really think he could act rowdy and call it an explanation or apology?"

With that, she almost stood up to walk out, but right on time Arwen grabbed her arm and cooed her softly. "You don’t have to, Anna. I have already taught him the lesson." Arwen didn’t even get time to react to Gianna’s selective hearing syndrome but she didn’t mind. Over the years, she had somewhat gotten used to it already.

Gianna raised an unimpressed brow. "Do you think he is the type of student who learns after one simple lesson?" she countered. "He won’t, Wenna. So, it will be better to give him the lesson in the right way —in a way he would never be able to forget."

Arwen sighed, understanding her friend’s biasness too well. Gianna had never favored Ryan, not even for a fraction of a second. Not because she hated him and he was his arch-enemy. But rather because she never liked him enough to accept his attitude. And his actions today added more to her dislike. There was no way she would let him off lightly if given a choice.

In the moment, Arwen was lost in her thoughts, Gianna’s thoughts shifted to something else that made her expression shift slightly and more seriously. Grabbing Arwen’s hands in hers, she asked, "Wenna, don’t tell me you are going to get soft on him again now that he has said that he never loved Delyth."

Arwen was taken aback for a moment. She hadn’t thought about it even for a second, strangely —neither when Ryan explained his entanglement with Delyth, nor when he tried to suggest that she had misunderstood them.

"Wenna, you can’t —"

"Of course not, Anna"
